Putting Horowitz aside - because as I've repeatedly said, I agree he's gone quite a lot farther right since the book of his I've read. I'm not terribly interested in defending him or his views, since he does that well enough himself, in numerous books.
So what's "dodgy" about Rubin's politics? I've listened to him in quite a few videos and he seems right on the money about most things.
Yes, this thread is for real.
